A newly released video from the campaign provides a summary of the thought-provoking "toxic tour" of the 18th NY City Council District hosted by Green Party candidate Walt Nestler. The video follows the route of this bus tour as it makes stops at various contaminated sites. At each stop, Walt explains what the issues are and what should be done.

Renovation issues at Noble Park

Following the (lost) money at Starlight Park

Contamination at a former Loral manufacturing site

Questioning why the Soundview Park recreation center is so far behind schedule

The fact that no local professional firms have been hired for Bronx parks developments

The glut of school bus storage lots and school bus idling on Zerega Avenue

An uncovered Department of Sanitation salt pile that is polluting Westchester Creek

Unknown contamination on the Zerega Avenue waterfront

Community gardens with vegetables growing in contaminated soil, possibly making people sick

High levels of mercury at Castle Hill point

The lack of infrastructure on city streets that cause flooding and the build up of garbage after rain events

Contaminated play areas on the Field of Dreams

Community agreements that have not been honored regarding the soundview compost facility

Illegal dumping

But with each stop on the tour, the question was asked: where has the incumbent City Council Member Annabel Palma been on this issue? Why are no current elected officials on top of this?
